Izaac's new hairdo

Today we drove to boulder to try and go iceskating at the outdoor ice rink with tia, but they had to postpone opening the rink because it is too warm.....
In the process of getting out of the car, izaac was climbing out and fell as he was about to step down, and landed on his head on the concrete of the parking garage. Mom almost had a heart attack, and i got really nervous, because the sound of his head on the concrete was loud and sickening, and then he was crying for a very long time. He eventually stopped crying, and we went on with our day, playing at pearl street mall and having lunch.
Izaac's day wasn't over, though. We got home and took a nap, and when we woke up we went to check on dada, and he was shaving his head. Mom decided it was a good time to cut zac's hair, especially because dad had started to cut his hair a few weeks ago, but found it difficult, and had left a hardly noticeable short patch in the front. Mom thought she'd be able to even it out and cut his locks at the same time. 20 minutes later she was packing us into the car to take zac to the haircutter......and now he looks like he is ready for active duty. Mom and dad are pretty sad that his locks are gone, even though we all think he is cute no matter what his hair looks like.

I'm 4 years old!!!!

This weekend was a big weekend. Last thursday i turned 4 years old, and friday i had my first slumber party for my birthday [arty. I was so excited i was awake at 3am, 4am, and 5am friday morning. At least i got a good nap in that day before everyone arrived. Tia and Ariadnee were my partiers - they arrived around dinner and the first thing was the mermaid tattoos, then dinner and then the pinata game. Then we watched the little mermaid, and then took baths to be mermaids in the tub. We didn't even remember presents and cake until after our bath.....which of course we had to have, just before bedtime. Mom was impressed that we actually did go to sleep by 930. Dad read us stories while she did zac's bedtime routine and got him to bed. We slept till almost 6am, and then we woke up and watched the little mermaid #2 - about ariel's daughter! And we had a yummy breakfast of blueberry pancakes, and everyone left by 10am.

Right away after my party mom and dad started tearing up the carpet.....mom had borrowed the little mermaid videos from the library - i probably watched those movies 6 or 8 times that weekend, while they worked on the floors. They were able to pull up all the carpet, remove the padding, clean the surface from staples and nails, and lay down the roofing paper for moisture barrier. So basically the subflooring is prepped and ready to have the bamboo put down, but they layed the carpet back down (cut in pieces) so that we could live in the house until they have a chance to put the wood floors down. The plan is for the weekend after thanksgiving ........wish them luck!
